MLB News: Scores, Standings, Stats, Trades, Rumors (2024)

Most baseball fans consider the All-Star break the midpoint of the season, but of course, it is not in fact the actual midpoint of the season. By mid-July, some teams have already played 100 games.

SAN DIEGO -- You probably didn’t have Padres-Nationals as a budding, must-watch rivalry. But you should now. The man at the center of it all: Jurickson Profar. Benches cleared prior to Profar’s first at-bat in the first inning Tuesday night -- and that was only the start of the drama

It’s incredible to think that with less than one week remaining in June, only five teams are in position to be considered definite sellers for this year’s Trade Deadline. The White Sox, Angels, Athletics, Marlins and Rockies are all staring at double-digit deficits in the postseason race, and with 12

Ohtani’s solo shot, go-ahead single add more highlights to an impressive June performance

CHICAGO -- Shohei Ohtani is already stamping his name into the Dodgers’ record books, only half a season into his first year with Los Angeles. Ohtani crushed a leadoff home run in Tuesday’s 4-3 win over the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field, a Statcast-projected 376-foot blast off starter Chris

Third baseman goes deep twice off Gerrit Cole as Mets outslug Yankees

NEW YORK -- Outside of Pete Alonso, who was an overnight star in Flushing, and Francisco Alvarez, who might still become one, the Mets have routinely watched their most talented position-player prospects struggle to gain footholds at the starts of their careers. For every Alonso, there has been an Amed

BALTIMORE -- José Ramírez continues to come up clutch with big hits in two-out scenarios for the Guardians, and his energy has infused the rest of the Cleveland lineup. As a result, Bo Naylor, Gabriel Arias & Co. showed no signs of cooling off in a 10-8 win over the

Tigers southpaw logs seven scoreless frames in duel with MLB ERA leader Suárez

DETROIT -- Tarik Skubal's journey to a potential All-Star appearance has included a fair share of pitching duels with fellow aces, from Minnesota’s Pablo López (win in April) and Kansas City’s Cole Ragans (loss in May) to Atlanta’s Reynaldo López (loss six days ago). So matching up opposite Philadelphia’s Ranger

NEW YORK – In explaining the choice to activate Gerrit Cole rather than have him continue making rehab starts in the Minors, the Yankees said that four innings from their ace would be preferable to what they might squeeze from anyone else they plugged into the rotation. That reasoning made

Steven Kwan has added 201 points of slugging percentage

It is one of the most entertaining developments of the first half of the season that while Cleveland’s Steven Kwan carried a .389 batting average into Tuesday, giving rise to hopes that he’ll be the first .400 hitter in more than 80 years. He will not be, for the record,

HOUSTON -- There’s no player that embodies the Astros’ dramatic turnaround more than right-hander Hunter Brown, who overcame a woeful April and has pitched like an ace for nearly two months. The resurgence came just in time for an Astros rotation that has seen three more starting pitchers land on

MILWAUKEE – The Brewers aren’t above a little negative advertising if it helps rookie third baseman Joey Ortiz win a spot in next month’s All-Star Game. So, instead of merely stating Ortiz’s case and encouraging fans to vote between innings of Tuesday’s 3-1 win over the Rangers – when Ortiz’s

Yanks second baseman draws criticism for lack of hustle on groundout

Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres drew criticism for a lack of hustle on the basepaths in a key moment Tuesday night. In the eighth inning of the Yankees' 9-7 loss against the Mets at Citi Field, Torres came up with the bases empty and two outs, immediately after teammate Aaron

BOSTON -- The Blue Jays finally found their oasis in the desert. Tuesday’s 9-4 win over the Red Sox was loud, clunky and messy, but none of that matters because it snapped their seven-game losing streak. At this point, any win is the most beautiful thing their tired eyes have

The day began like any other for Hogan Windish. It ended much differently. The Mariners' first-base prospect launched himself into baseball lore on Tuesday night, homering four times and driving in nine runs for Double-A Arkansas during a 9-4 win over Springfield at Hammons Field. And if that memorable performance

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays have grown used to playing -- and winning -- close, high-stress games. They own the Majors’ best record in games decided by two runs or fewer at 28-12, accounting for 70 percent of their victories … and half of the games they’ve played this season.

SAN FRANCISCO -- With their rotation depleted by injuries, the Giants have been leaning heavily on their bullpen to cover innings and help them get by until reinforcements arrive.

PHOENIX -- As Brandon Pfaadt walked into the dugout after issuing a three-run game-tying homer in the seventh inning, Ketel Marte waited patiently for the young pitcher with a simple message. “[Marte] told me, 'Hey, we got your back,'" Pfaadt said. “‘We’re going to win this game.’” It didn’t take

Always bring your camera to the ballpark. You never know what historic moment you’ll capture. That’s what Robert Bates Sr. learned – and taught the rest of us – 78 years ago. Filming his sons George and Robert Jr. as batboys on April 2, 1946, the elder Bates also recorded

MILWAUKEE -- It’s been nearly a decade since Dallas Keuchel won the American League Cy Young Award, and four years since he logged a Major League ERA better than 5.00. But the Brewers are betting that at 36, the well-traveled left-hander can still help a starting rotation. The Brewers acquired

CINCINNATI -- The key, as Oneil Cruz would explain, is to take short steps toward home, just in case an opportunity presents itself. Cruz was stationed on second with the bases full of Bucs in the top of the third Tuesday at Great American Ball Park when Edward Olivares lifted
